Give Hamas the Knock-Out Punch

IDF Military Intelligence Head Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin briefed the cabinet today and said that Hamas has taken a very big hit and are basically on the ropes. The Jpost.com reports, "According to Yadlin, Hamas had realized its error in not anticipating an Israeli response to the ongoing rocket fire, and expecting neither a ground operation nor the cold shoulder the world has shown the group.
He spoke of the cracks in Hamas resilience, its disconnected leadership in Syria, and its waning public support following the extensive Israeli attacks on the organization, but predicted that while Hamas realized that it had no choice but reach a compromise with Israel, it was not about to succumb, and was still capable of striking Israel and the IDF."


Why would our leaders want to accept a cease fire now, when we could knock them out once and for all?
